About Us

The Center for Sex Education (CSE) has been hosting an annual Sex Ed Conference since 1985. What started as a one-day conference for New Jersey health educators has grown into the largest conference in the United States that is exclusively devoted to sexuality education. Participants attend from across the nation and many other parts of the world to network and learn best practices in sexuality education, addressing a spectrum of topics, audiences, and ages.

The CSE is also the publisher of sexuality education manuals used throughout the world. Guides range from how to answer young children’s questions about sexuality to teaching senior citizens about sex ed. Every age in between is addressed, providing sexuality educators with user-friendly, cost-effective lesson plans addressing puberty, healthy and unhealthy relationships, contraception, sexual safety, and much more. CSE publications are available at www.SexEdStore.com. The website is introducing a membership option where members can access searchable, electronic versions of the lesson plans. This option is available when registering for the conference.

The Center for Sex Education, led by executive director Bill Taverner, considered an expert in sexuality education, provides keynotes, workshops, inservice training, and other professional development at reasonable fees. For more information, contact Info@SexEdStore.com.

The CSE is dedicated to the proposition that all people have a right to education that will help them understand, appreciate and take responsibility for their sexuality. Based in Morristown, NJ, it is the national education division of Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central, and Southern New Jersey.
